Network members debate current challenges and share solutions and ideas for the development of memory services. The Network provides a focus for sharing innovative practice and debating how this can be adopted and spread across the region. It also supports members to develop a wider understanding of the implementation of the National Dementia Strategy and the perspectives of commissioners and third sector providers.
The Network is led by:
- Dr Martin Ansell, who currently chairs the Memory Services Expert Reference Group
- Kate Anderson from the service in Plymouth, which received accreditation in July from the Royal College of Psychiatrists Memory Service National Accreditation Programme.
